The company said it was going to build a plant that would turn natural gas into liquid products, such as waxes and lubricants. In August 2014, county officials loaned RCC $400,000, hoping the plant would bring jobs and economic development.

Two years later, RCC announced it was moving to Floyd County instead. In 2018, it paid back $100,000 to Pike County. Since then, no more payments have come in.

The Pike County Fiscal Court has threatened to sue before, even giving RCC a deadline of October 2017 to make a payment. Now, Jones told The Herald-Leader he wants all the money repaid by March 1 of this year, though he is still willing to work with the company if it can prove the project is still happening.

Recently-seated Floyd County Judge-Executive Robert Williams said he has not heard from RCC yet. The former judge-executive, Ben Hale, said he heard last week that the company is working to lock down investments for the plant, which is supposedly still scheduled to be operational by 2020.
